Flip cloud-native chaos into enterprise context

Contemplating that greater than 90% of organizations leveraging public clouds are transferring to a multi cloud technique Cisco Observability Platform [1] guarantees to “flip cloud native chaos into enterprise context” [2]. Such cloud observability instruments for cloud native functions will presumably see wider adoption if the method of setting them up might be simplified. Automations for establishing observability throughout varied cloud distributors – with a single set of APIs [3] – will enable enterprises to deal with their mission vital enterprise functions and person expertise fairly than coping with the proprietary methodologies of particular person clouds.

Programmability for observability instrument integrations

Step one to observability is establishing the conduits that serve up the telemetry knowledge from completely different cloud distributors to observability instruments, corresponding to Cisco Cloud Observability or CCO. Every of the cloud distributors have a proprietary methodology to arrange and handle these knowledge conduits. CCO APIs summary and automate establishing the connections to the general public cloud distributors and allow you to observe all of the cloud infrastructure telemetry knowledge with a single pane of glass.

As soon as cloud connections are in place, CCO normalizes telemetry knowledge collected from a number of cloud deployments permitting builders to then provision the well being guidelines, anomaly detection, and automatic actions which is essential to proactive troubleshooting of any degradations in enterprise functions.

This weblog might be adopted by a sequence of blogs every exploring the CCO APIs listed beneath.
